    Hi, LL,

    You take it easy, now! OH is back laying the patio after a few days off with aches and pains, bless him.

    Glad you enjoyed your birthday and thank you for the support, and to you, GG.

    Neighbours are screaming, shouting, effing and blinding at each other at 5.30 a.m... and at 6.30 a.m., 3.30 p.m, 5.30 p.m., 11 p.m., pretty much any time, really. So yes, even when they are quiet, it is impossible to relax, concentrate properly (hence the haplessness re PayPal) as we are just waiting for them to start again. They are toxic together and their children have no chance in an atmosphere like that. No chance at all.

    Thank you, GG, I do actually feel a bit better for that. Usually I come here for distraction, to forget about them but they have worn my energy levels down to the point where I can no longer "park" them elsewhere. Done now, so sorry, Sunny Smodlet!... not.
    Apart from that , today is still a misery :(

    :grouphug: for you Smoders (hope you don't mind the nickname ;)) and you AC.

    Hi, ladies, thank you so much and... I don't love it. Regarding my user name, at the risk of sounding like AC, I am not open to suggestions...

    Ok Smodlet.....as you wish.;)

    Hope you got a better nights sleep. Have you tried earplugs. I know you shouldnt have to resort to them but if you are desperate........I find the wax ones work best. I always take them with me when travelling, just in case the hotel is noisy.

    AC. Glad you are having a better day. Good luck with viewings. Enjoy your drink with your friends. It will do you good to get out.

    Liked the flat today, have three viewings tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

    Decorator still here, hopefully will finish today so I can then get straight for the weekend. Looks very smart.

    While on the bus, I saw him talking to someone . Think it's a scam now. There are a couple of Chinese guys in the city( not together ), who stop people . I don't hang around for that .

    Looking good for you LL ;) won't be long .

    34 pages on this thread so far . Can I get an offer before page 40?
